What it is

A minimal cookie-free analytics service that collects no personal data and keeps everything on servers in the Netherlands and Germany, so data never leaves the EU. No consent banner is needed under GDPR or the ePrivacy Directive. Newer versions add AI-generated insights over the dashboard.

Why it earns a slot

For an EU publication or a client with a nervous legal team, Dutch hosting plus a no-personal-data stance is the easiest compliance story to defend in a single sentence.

Know before you commit

No permanent free plan and no self-hosting. The pageview allowance is account-wide across all your sites rather than per site, and paying monthly instead of annually costs about 20% more.
